Each time an extent handle is opened and closed, if the inode has an
extent tree which does not fit in the inode's i_block structure, a
filesystem block buffer was not getting released. Since e2fsck opens
an extent handle for every inode using extents, this can translate to
a very large amount of memory getting lost.
Thanks to Henrik 'Mauritz' Johnson for discovering and pointing out
this leak, which he ran into while running the "rdump" command in
debugfs.
